Well, if Sterling’s slippers are like my slippers,
he might be hearing the soft bleating of distant sheep….
further muffled by the thick layer of woolly sheepskin lining the inside.
Mind you, I don’t know whether you can hear sheep inside my slippers….
it’s only a guess, based on my having heard the ocean inside a seashell,
and seeing a similarity.
But I have never, ever, myself, worn my slippers on my ears.
Not that I would tell Rose about, anyway.
BTW, I want to welcome Joefearsnothing and NRHawk to the neighborhood….
The secret is, you already do live here….
even though you may still live elsewhere too
(unless you don’t _want_to… I mean, you can live here full time if you like.)
Ballard County is huge, with no boundaries….
Ballard Street runs through every town, and then some.
As soon as you acknowledge, gladly or begrudgingly, your suitability, or desire for, or even resigned acceptance of, Ballard St residency….. boom…
you’re one of us.
There really is no age requirement, BTW…. it’s a state of mind.
To me, a happy one!
